I'm not sure why but recently my aunt suan has popped into my head several times over the past few days. My aunt suan is probably the aunt that i feel closest to. Which is strange because i'm not sure if she realizes how big of an impact she has been in my life.
My aunt suan never forgets a birthday or holiday. She seems to never let anything phase her, even with the every day struggles of being a mom of two twin teenage boys and an amazing young daughter. For as long as i can remember she has been/arranged every holiday party we've had on my moms side of the family.
When i moved away to college my aunt suan would send me HUGE care packages filled with fun holiday treats. For example for saint patricks day (mind you a holiday not celebrated by many) i got a box full of green gifts. Everything from soap to green stacking cups to pens/pencils, a purse, and plenty of goodies. For Valentines day she was my sweetheart. she sent me cd's filled with songs that she loves, and i've grown to love.
When i was in saint george, the farthest away physically i've been from her, i felt the closest. When i found myself in a not so happy situation she was there with a simple email of support and encouragement. I appreciate it to this day and will never forget the releif i felt from the support email.
She's one of the most emotionally balanced women i know. I've never seen her loose her cool not for one second. I'm sure it happens, because everyone has hard days but i'm amazed with her strength on many levels.
So here's to my aunt suan, one of my life's heroes. Who can never be replaced. ever.
thinking of you. xoxoxoxo
